Edit: Holy fuck, there's a new TSFiA translated. You can find it here.

I'll just say this: Remember those A-10As in Hamburg? The ones who fought to the last man, dying where they stood?

They didn't all die.

"I do believe that few infestations exist in this world that a big gun and lots of bullets cannot solve." - Doctor 1.

actually, me and the translator-kun were embarrassed to realize we translated the name of the A-10C unit in question wrong. The A-10C unit was actually named Kanonendoktor (cannon doctors in english) in the story and is an West German unit as indicated by the Iron cross on the A-10C pictured in the TSFIA article in question(now available for view on the wiki page).
And as to why an implied American Veteran is leading a German unit, theories are abound on 4chan. From being an Old veteran quitting the US Army to fight for the land his Band of brothers have died defending and to fight alongside the Europeans he have come to love, to the possibility that this man is in fact one of the German boys who grew up and eventually returned to continue the legacy of the Thunderbolt II and the American heroes he wishes to emulate. Also since the A-10C are believed to be on loan to the Germans by the US, it could mean that the squadron consists of veteran soldiers exchanges for the purpose of mentoring and training the west Germans on forming their own dedicated TSA attack squadrons. either way Age will probably never explain why and in the end it really doesn't matter.

Or it's really just an American defense unit that happened tasked there by the UN.

While that would make the most sense, is not the case as Age choose to give the unit 's name in German. and as i mentioned before. the symbol of the German Bundeswehr- the iron cross, can be clearly seen on the a-10s in this story.
and the unit patch of the A-10C in question.
as you can see its clearly labeled as the Bundeswehr which is the West German Army

Could be a UN pilot using a German A-10C, as an American retired working for the Euro Front is quite impossible. American peoples pride is too high to serve as another nation's soldier(except under special circumstances), so I think "An American pilot on duty using German's A-10C" is the most likely to happen.

Alright don't forget them RMAF has some Mig-29's.
We can assume they're Lastochka's right? Right? T_T

The baseline MiG-29 is the Lastochka. It's the upgraded MiG-29OVT that's designated as Fulcrum.

All that matters is that this man saw all of his friends die, is probably a sole survivor, and went through a horrific and extremely traumatizing experience.

And he volunteers to face certain death, so that others may live - and all his troops will follow him into the jaws of death.

His mind isn't steel, it's goddamned depleted uranium.

...also, if it's okay with you, I have a sudden desire to start editing the TSFiA pages for grammar and punctuation and the like. <_<

I'm a pessimist. I'm pretty sure Najib would prioritize holding onto his money rather than survival.

Then again, as of 2001 Malaysian and Singaporean forces are holding okay, so I assume this means that Dr. Mahatir and Lee Kuan Yew are running the show, and have - if not buried the hatchet - at least called a temporary truce. Both men were, when all was said and done, realists.

So I suppose in Alternative Malaysia, Wawasan 2020 is less on becoming a 1st World country and more about building a 1st World army.

Pretty sure the Su-30MKM doesn't exist in Alternative; looking at what's been shown so far, I think the Su-37M2 would fit it's particular role. And to be fair, the Su-30MKI/MKM series are essentially an attempt to make a more realistic, relevant and affordable Su-37 for mass production.
